About Us
Nurturing Young Minds, Strengthening Families
At Sandhills Area Childcare (SACC), we believe that every child deserves a safe, nurturing, and inspiring environment where they can explore, learn, and grow. Located in the heart of Thedford, Nebraska, we are deeply committed to supporting families and fostering the holistic development of young children—emotionally, socially, and cognitively.
Our philosophy goes beyond providing daily care. We are a community of passionate educators and caregivers dedicated to creating experiences that ignite curiosity, build confidence, and encourage creativity. Each child is treated as a unique individual, and our programs are designed to meet their developmental needs while honoring their personality, culture, and interests.
We value strong partnerships with families, recognizing that collaboration between home and childcare is essential to a child’s growth. By engaging parents and caregivers in the learning process, we ensure that children receive consistent support and encouragement both at home and at our center.
Nurturing Young Minds, Building Brighter Futures
The story of Sandhills Area Childcare (SACC) began with a simple but powerful vision: to create a place where children could feel safe, loved, and inspired to learn and grow. Founded in Thedford, Nebraska, our center was built on the belief that every child deserves a strong foundation in their early years—a foundation that supports emotional, social, and cognitive development, while also fostering curiosity, creativity, and confidence.
From the very beginning, our mission has been to provide high-quality childcare rooted in community values. We understood that children do best when families and educators work together, which is why building strong partnerships with parents and caregivers has always been central to our approach. By creating a space where families feel welcomed and supported, we ensure that children have the guidance and encouragement they need to thrive both at home and in our care.
Our programs are designed with the whole child in mind. From Infant & Toddler Care to Preschool Readiness, Holistic Learning, and After-School Enrichment, every activity, lesson, and interaction is carefully crafted to help children grow academically, socially, and emotionally. We celebrate each child’s individuality, nurturing their unique talents, interests, and personality.
The heart of SACC is our dedicated team of educators and staff. Each member brings experience, compassion, and passion, working tirelessly to create a safe, stimulating, and joyful environment. Together, we are more than a childcare center—we are a community, a family, and a place where children feel valued, confident, and excited to learn.
Over the years, we have witnessed countless stories of growth, discovery, and joy. Children arriving as infants leave with confidence and independence; preschoolers gain the skills and curiosity they need for kindergarten and beyond. These moments remind us of why we do what we do and inspire us to continue building a brighter future for every child.
Sandhills Area Childcare is more than a place to care for children—it’s a place to nurture dreams, cultivate potential, and build the foundation for lifelong success.
At Sandhills Area Childcare (SACC), our journey has always been about children, families, and community. Here’s our story in detail:
